6.9 Patricia Travelled with couple June 2025
Buffetten waren uitgebreid, show cooking had lekkere gerechten gemaakt door sympathieke koks. Mooie omgeving !
Heel gehorige kamers (kamer met tussendeur). Heel erg druk omwille van jeugdgroepen die doorheen het hele hotel ongecontroleerd hun gang gingen en vooral in het restaurant enorm veel lawaai en chaos veroorzaakten. Restaurant erg ongezellig... 'refter' zou een betere omschrijving zijn.

8.3 Maria Dolores Travelled with family July 2025 The animation is very good and the pools are very clean. The room is phenomenal.

6 María Emilia Travelled with family July 2025 The best part has been the entertainment and the pool area with Water Slides for the kids was great.
Lo mejor ha sido la animación y la zona de piscina y toboganes para los niños genial.
Little variety in the buffet and total lack of control in the dining room, 30 minutes waiting to order drinks or grilled food. The reception could also be improved; on the day of arrival they tell me there is availability to extend without any problem, but the next morning there were no more rooms available... they offer me a complimentary room to change on the day of check-out, but when we go to change, that room doesn't exist... total lack of control.
Poca variedad en el buffet y descontrol total en el comedor, 30 min esperando para poder pedir bebidas o comida de plancha. También mejoraría la recepción el día de llegada me dicen que hay disponibilidad para ampliar sin problema y al siguiente día por la mañana ya no quedaba habitación....me ofrecen una habitación de cortesía para cambiarnos el día de salida, cuando vamos a cambiarnos no existe esa habitación....descontrol total.

8.9 Manuel Cabanillas Travelled with family July 2025 As every summer when I go with my family we are fascinated by the entertainment team, but this year with their new cabaret show they have succeeded, in a word spectacular. We have felt very comfortable, the room and the service great without a doubt.
Como cada verano que voy con mi familia nos fascina el equipo de animación, pero este año con su nuevo show de cabaret han triunfado, en una palabra espectacular. Nos hemos sentido muy cómodos, la habitación y el servicio genial sin duda alguna.
The buffet this year has been quite bad, I don't know if it's because of the poor quality of the products or the way they were cooked, but it has been very difficult to find something good in general. It's a shame that a hotel with such a good team struggles so much with the food, hopefully it improves.
El buffet este año ha sido bastante malo, no se si por la mala calidad del producto o la forma de cocinado, pero ha sido muy difícil encontrar algo bueno en general. Es una pena que un hotel con ese equipo tan bueno, patine mucho en el tema de la comida, ojalá mejore.

10 Pedro Travelled with family July 2025 I don't even know where to start... We stayed for 5 days (4 nights), 2 adults and 1 child. The hotel impressed us when we saw it in person because it doesn't stand out in the photos as it does there, it is a spacious hotel, spacious room, it has details like a retractable clothesline to dry your clothes after a day at the pool, the air conditioning works fabulously, it has a fan but we didn't use it, a very large pool with a slide for children (and not so young ones, I enjoyed it more than the little one hehe), the pool has a jacuzzi, it has a buffet that I found to be of great quality, and I did find it varied contrary to the comments I read, What could be more varied? Well, yes, but it's not bad and unlike others the food has "flavor", in the buffet you have the option to eat inside or on a terrace, very good attention from all the staff, but without belittling any other position... my hat goes off to the entertainment team, THEY ARE ALL AMAZING, but I highlight Miguel and Juanma, they are the kind of people that would make me reconsider returning to the hotel, I say it sincerely, their dedication to what they do and also their enjoyment of it is evident and they convey it, really show them this message they deserve it all, the cabaret was AWESOME!!!!, Ivan surprised with the hoop, again my congratulations to the entire entertainment team. Every day there are practically different games or exercises to keep you entertained from the moment you wake up until you go to bed, there are activities for children and adults, the magic show and magic performance were amazing... in short, perfect location, a 9-minute walk to the beach, it is in a very quiet residential area and has free car park right at the door, 2 huge car park lots, it is a family hotel and that is appreciated, no rowdiness (no offense), for those who have doubts about going, just go and don't think twice, you will leave with a good taste in your mouth, the all-inclusive ends at 23... But I repeat it is a family hotel... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
Ni se por dónde empezar... Hemos estado 5 dias (4 noches), 2 adultos y 1 niño. El hotel nos impresionó al verlo in situ por que en las fotos no destaca como lo es allí, es un hotel amplio, habitación amplia, tiene detalles como un tendedero retráctil para secar tu ropita después del dia de piscina, el aire acondicionado funciona de fábula, tiene ventilador pero no lo pusimos, una piscina baastaaaaaante amplia con un tobogan para niños (y no tan niños, yo lo disfruté más que el peque jeje) en la piscina tiene jacuzzi, tiene un buffet que me pareció de gran calidad, y si lo vi variado al contrario de los comentarios que leo, ¿Que puede ser mas variado? Pues si, pero no esta mal y a diferencia de otros la comida tiene "sabor", en el.buffet tienes para comer dentro o una terraza, atención muy buena por parte de todo el personal, pero sin menospreciar a ningún otro puesto....mi quitada de sombrero es para el equipo de animación, TODOS SON UNOS FIERAS, pero destaco a Miguel y Juanma, son esas clases de personas la cual me harian replantearme volver al hotel, lo digo de verdad, que entrega en lo que hacen y además, lo disfruntan y eso se nota y lo transmiten, de verdad muestrenle este mensaje que se lo merece todo el equipo, el kabaret fue BRUTAL!!!!, Ivan sorprendió con el aro, de nuevo mi enhorabuena para todo el equipo de animación. Todos los días hay prácticamente desde que te levantas hasta que te acuestas diferentes juego o ejercicios para tenerte entretenido, hay para los peques y para adultos, brutal el show de magia y el espectáculo de magia...en fin, ubicación perfecta, a 9 minutos andando tienes la playa, está en una zona residencial muuuuy tranquila y tiene parking justo en toda la puerta gratuito, 2 explanadas enormes, es un hotel familiar y eso se agradece, de que no haya chavaleos (sin ofender) , el que tenga dudas en ir que vaya y no se lo planteé, se irá con buen sabor de boca, el todo incluido termina a las 23... Pero repito que es un hotel familiar.... TOTALMENTE RECOMENDABLE!!!

10 Olga Travelled with family July 2025 The hotel is very nice. We went all-inclusive and it's definitely worth it. Everything is very clean, the staff is amazing and the facilities are very good. There are two pools, one with Water Slides and the other one quieter... Plenty of sunbeds, beach bar... Very good, really. We will definitely come back.
El hotel está muy bien. Hemos ido todo incluido y merece muchísimo la pena. Todo está muy limpio, el personal increíble y las instalaciones muy bien. Hay dos piscinas, una de ellas con toboganes y la otra más tranquila... Tumbonas de sobra, chiringuito... Muy bien, la verdad. Volveremos seguro.
For example, the beach right in front, 5 minutes away, has pebbles and you need beach shoes, but since you can park perfectly at the hotel's door, you can go to stunning beaches around...
Por decir algo, la playa que está justo enfrente, a 5 minutos, tiene piedrecitas y se necesitan cangrejeras pero como se puede aparcar perfectamente en la puerta del hotel, se puede ir a playas impresionantes de alrededor...

6.7 Soraia Travelled with family July 2025 The rooms are large, the pool with Water Slides is good for children and adults to enjoy, it is big and covers different depths. The hotel is located in a quiet area, with car park available both inside the hotel facilities (cost 10€/day) and outside the hotel.
Las habitaciones son grandes, la piscina con toboganes está bien para poder disfrutar niños y adultos, es grande y cubre a diferentes alturas. El hotel está ubicado en una zona tranquila, sitio para aparcar tanto dentro de las instalaciones del hotel (coste 10€/día) tanto fuera del hotel
The bathroom fixtures need to be replaced, the room would be fine if they cleaned under the bed, made the bed, mopped the high-traffic areas a bit and cleaned the bathroom but under the beds... We found more than 3 spiders. Breakfasts are good although some things like the bacon are frozen, but the dinners, we were with Half Board, the dinners truthfully were not up to a 4* level, cold dishes and quite poor quality.
Los sanitarios del baño necesitan un cambio, la habitación estaría bien que limpiarán debajo de la cama, hacen la cama, pasan un poco la fregona en las zonas de paso y limpian el baño pero debajo de las camas.... Encontramos más de 3 arañas. Los desayunos estan bien aún algunas cosas como el bacon están heladas pero las cenas, estábamos a media pensión, las cenas la verdad que no estaban a la altura de un 4*, cosas frías y la calidad bastante mala.
